This series introduce XDP multi-buffer support. The mvneta driver is
the first to support these new "non-linear" xdp_{buff,frame}. Reviewers
please focus on how these new types of xdp_{buff,frame} packets
traverse the different layers and the layout design. It is on purpose
that BPF-helpers are kept simple, as we don't want to expose the
internal layout to allow later changes.

For now, to keep the design simple and to maintain performance, the XDP
BPF-prog (still) only have access to the first-buffer. It is left for
later (another patchset) to add payload access across multiple buffers.
This patchset should still allow for these future extensions. The goal
is to lift the XDP MTU restriction that comes with XDP, but maintain
same performance as before.

The main idea for the new multi-buffer layout is to reuse the same
layout used for non-linear SKB. This rely on the "skb_shared_info"
struct at the end of the first buffer to link together subsequent
buffers. Keeping the layout compatible with SKBs is also done to ease
and speedup creating an SKB from an xdp_{buff,frame}.
Converting xdp_frame to SKB and deliver it to the network stack is shown
in patch 07/14 (e.g. cpumaps).

A multi-buffer bit (mb) has been introduced in the flags field of xdp_{buff,frame}
structure to notify the bpf/network layer if this is a xdp multi-buffer frame
(mb = 1) or not (mb = 0).
The mb bit will be set by a xdp multi-buffer capable driver only for
non-linear frames maintaining the capability to receive linear frames
without any extra cost since the skb_shared_info structure at the end
of the first buffer will be initialized only if mb is set.
Moreover the flags field in xdp_{buff,frame} will be reused even for
xdp rx csum offloading in future series.

Typical use cases for this series are:
- Jumbo-frames
- Packet header split (please see Google’s use-case @ NetDevConf 0x14, [0])
- TSO

A new bpf helper (bpf_xdp_get_buff_len) has been introduce in order to notify
the eBPF layer about the total frame size (linear + paged parts).

bpf_xdp_adjust_tail and bpf_xdp_copy helpers have been modified to take into
account xdp multi-buff frames.

More info about the main idea behind this approach can be found here [1][2].

Changes since v8:
- add proper dma unmapping if XDP_TX fails on mvneta for a xdp multi-buff
- switch back to skb_shared_info implementation from previous xdp_shared_info
  one
- avoid using a bietfield in xdp_buff/xdp_frame since it introduces performance
  regressions. Tested now on 10G NIC (ixgbe) to verify there are no performance
  penalties for regular codebase
- add bpf_xdp_get_buff_len helper and remove frame_length field in xdp ctx
- add data_len field in skb_shared_info struct

Changes since v7:
- rebase on top of bpf-next
- fix sparse warnings
- improve comments for frame_length in include/net/xdp.h

Changes since v6:
- the main difference respect to previous versions is the new approach proposed
  by Eelco to pass full length of the packet to eBPF layer in XDP context
- reintroduce multi-buff support to eBPF kself-tests
- reintroduce multi-buff support to bpf_xdp_adjust_tail helper
- introduce multi-buffer support to bpf_xdp_copy helper
- rebase on top of bpf-next

Changes since v5:
- rebase on top of bpf-next
- initialize mb bit in xdp_init_buff() and drop per-driver initialization
- drop xdp->mb initialization in xdp_convert_zc_to_xdp_frame()
- postpone introduction of frame_length field in XDP ctx to another series
- minor changes

Changes since v4:
- rebase ontop of bpf-next
- introduce xdp_shared_info to build xdp multi-buff instead of using the
  skb_shared_info struct
- introduce frame_length in xdp ctx
- drop previous bpf helpers
- fix bpf_xdp_adjust_tail for xdp multi-buff
- introduce xdp multi-buff self-tests for bpf_xdp_adjust_tail
- fix xdp_return_frame_bulk for xdp multi-buff

Changes since v3:
- rebase ontop of bpf-next
- add patch 10/13 to copy back paged data from a xdp multi-buff frame to
  userspace buffer for xdp multi-buff selftests

Changes since v2:
- add throughput measurements
- drop bpf_xdp_adjust_mb_header bpf helper
- introduce selftest for xdp multibuffer
- addressed comments on bpf_xdp_get_frags_count
- introduce xdp multi-buff support to cpumaps

Changes since v1:
- Fix use-after-free in xdp_return_{buff/frame}
- Introduce bpf helpers
- Introduce xdp_mb sample program
- access skb_shared_info->nr_frags only on the last fragment

Changes since RFC:
- squash multi-buffer bit initialization in a single patch
- add mvneta non-linear XDP buff support for tx side
